For example, the actual chemical formula of uranium dioxide is UO, where x varies between 0.4 and 0.32.
The use of uranium dioxide as a material for rechargeable batteries is being investigated.
For instance the corrosion of uranium dioxide is studied at the ITU.
Most nuclear fuel that is not of the MOX type only contains uranium dioxide.
As the fuel is degraded or heated the more volatile fission products which are trapped within the uranium dioxide may become free.
Water at 350 C produces uranium dioxide.
Uranyl chloride is formed when chlorine gas is passed over uranium dioxide at a red heat.
Most nuclear fuel is uranium dioxide, which is a cubic solid with a structure similar to that of calcium fluoride.
For example, there has been much work on how uranium dioxide based fuel interacts with the zirconium alloy tubing used to cover it.
A boiling water reactor uses U, enriched as uranium dioxide, as its fuel.
